Radical Yes 'Declaration' T-Bar Wedge 2.0 - Black Leather

T-Bar sandals are forever sandals! Designed to be worn throughout summer, Declaration 2.0 has been built on a new and improved two-piece outsole with additional arch support. Declaration sandals bring all the magic during those hot sticky days.

After the success of our elevated wedges from Summer 2018, we have been working hard with our maker to extend our options in sandal land. The upper has been cut with a radical take on a traditional T-Bar sandal shape and finished on an extremely comfortable 2 piece molded footbed. The moulded innersole is extremely soft under foot, and our new outsole, produced in a soft rubber, permits full flex of the foot and incredible added arch support. We now crown thee as an athletic inspired 'mini wedge'. 

With careful consideration placed on getting the height at perfectly wearable proportions, rising to a gentle 40mm height through the heel and graduating to a soft landing 30mm height through the ball of the foot, this latest update has also been executed in a Black Leather upper and lined in a soft leather base making this style luxurious, but still a great summer classic. Featuring a chunky buckle detail, the rear ankle strap has also been finished with hidden elastic on the inner for easy fit, walk and wear.  

Running true to fit in both length and width. Please order your usual size and note no need to size up as we have had to in the past with our wedges.  You can check out our size guide here.

After the success of last years collection of Declaration sandals, we have imagined this seasons capsule in a pair of the most popular colour ways: black and navy. Two strong wearing neutral palettes that speak to our ethos of creating shoes that you will wear beyond a single season. In this variant we have used a beautifully soft leather upper adding a luxury to your stride. A matching black innersole wrap gives a more substantial feel to what is always our favourite palette pick. A considered statement buckle in gunmetal is used at the ankle to fasten securely. All finished on super bouncy black EVA Wedge outsole. 

We love the more structured vibe of these sandals which still say 'getting things done' despite their playful open toe-ness. In this palette we saw them being mixed with a lot of golden brown and mustard pieces - a personal current favourite is cropped Mustard cords and a white tucked teeshirt. We also like to wear them with a complete manstyle suit. Very easy with a blazer and wider leg pants for weekday summer meetings.

Not really. Because the upper has been intentionally backed by a leather facing to prevent stretch on the ankle straps, these beauties really will hold their shape for years to come. 

Leather is a wonderful material, breathable, durable and beautiful. But without a bit of love it can dry out and deteriorate.

For optimum care, we recommend and sell "Waproo Waterproofer" to protect them from unexpected showers. We recommend spraying monthly on the Full Moon and can send you a reminder if you sign up to our newsletter here.

Polish your leather shoes around once a month and clean when necessary with a leather conditioner and soft rag to remove any dirt accumulated on your travels.

For extra special treatment, polishing can help renew shoes that have developed scratches or other signs of regular wear. Wax and cream polishes available from a local shoe repairer will breath new life into your beloved toe tappers. Once your newly polished shoes have dried you can re-apply a waterproof spray for extra protection.
